I've got a Sprint Hero and I bought one for my parents at Christmas. They're in the UK right now waiting for the volcanic clouds to clear. We had a good IM session back and forth today on Google Talk over wifi. They've sent several emails with pics back to me over wifi as well. I just compressed and loaded several DVD's to my Hero to watch when I'm on a plane or elsewhere and they play very well. If you decide to stick with Sprint and the Evo, you'll have plenty of memory space for music, movies and the clarity should far surpass what I have on the Hero. Also VOIP calling from a wifi zone when overseas with the right app. Not as handy as a GSM phone like the iPhone, but better than an old flip phone!
